How to Beat Eigong - Nine Sols Final Boss Guide

So you've reached the end of Nine Sols and you're bashing your head against a wall with Eigong - a final boss so difficult that she rivals only the Sword Saint himself. If that's the case, then you're in luck, as in this video I'll be providing detailed analysis for each of Eigong's attacks across all three phases.
After reviewing the attacks, I'll walk you through how I defeated the boss with play-by-play commentary, then wrap things up by describing which jades and tailismans I used, and lastly providing tips I have for the fight in general.

Thanks so much for this. It was really useful to use this as a reference, especially during the 3rd phase.

It's interesting seeing what you decide to Parry and Dodge. Like the big orb unblockable, I find too hard to react to with a Charged Parry so I just end up dodging out of the way and punishing her with a enhanced charge attack, I also run the fastfall Jade so that when she does the talisman strike I can dash to the ground and have enough time to charge Parry the unblockable drop if she does it(you can Dodge out of it if she doesn't), which also gives you a full punish phase 2 by the orb unblockable since it comes in a sequence making it much easier to deal with. Having the Perry instant charged attack jade it means that when she does the lowest strings you can always punish with a Charged attack when she does the third hit and that generally even if you don't have enough time to do a full talisman strike you can just do the charge attack for some damage. And phase 3 is just blocking those screen wipes and waiting for your openings like phase 2

I used Immovable Jade (charged strike charges quicker) and Focus Jade (enhanced charged strike). You can punish her with a charged strike after she hits you twice and opens her back in the high stance, or after she pokes you three times in the low stance. Also, I used Qi Blast, which gives you bow ammo. You can use it after she has just dashed behind you with the triple slash or every time she kneels. You hold a charged strike, and immediately after the Qi Blast, you release the attack button, spam the bow attack (cloud piercer), and after the bow, just press an attack, so you will do a charged attack. It chunks out 20-25% of her health. You can beat her phase in up to a minute. You can use Full Control as well. It is easier but does less damage. The quicker you deal with her, the fewer attacks you need to avoid, and the better your odds are.
